Close Reading Routines and Discussions
Explicitly stated in the routines are opportunity to engage in discussions, which Fisher & Frey refer to as “Collaborative Conversations”
Close Reading demands collaborative conversations.
Collaborative Conversations. . .
. . .enable (students) to consolidate their
understanding with peers and provide support for
one another in absence of the teacher.
. . . a means for students to access complex text by
applying the skills and strategies they have learned
during modeling, close
reading or scaffolded instruction.
. . .are a vital facet of group learning.Rigorous Reading by Fisher & Frey (p.74)
Collaborative Conversations and ELA Shifts
Anchor Standard 1-Speaking & Listening:Grades K-12: K-12.SL.1
Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
ELA Shifts:
1. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from the text, both literary and informational
3. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
Linking Standards to Collaborative Conversations
Examine the Speaking & Listening Anchor Standard One.
How does the level of demand change across the grade levels?
• What is familiar? • What is new?• What may be
challenging to students?
• What may be challenging to us?
Considerations
Looking at the standards, there are 4 ideas to keep in mind, regardless of the students grade level:
– Students are expected to come prepared for discussion
– Students are expected to collaborate with diverse partners
– Students are expected to build on each others’ ideas
– Students need to be able to express their ideas clearly and persuasively
